Rating of the best 37 washing powders, which one to choose in terms of quality and safety
Not all detergents are loaded into the machine, although they have a similar composition. Hand washing powders form a lot of foam, which removes stains and dirt, but also prevents the rotation of the laundry in the drum, falling into the holes, which can cause equipment failures. Among the abundance of offers on the market, it is not so easy to understand which of the detergents is the best, since it is necessary to take into account the type of material, the method of application.
Selection rules
If your clothes or laundry are not heavily soiled, you should use standard detergent. To remove difficult stains, you need to purchase a powder containing special components. For machine washing, it is recommended to choose an automatic machine with additives that prevent the formation of scale, but such detergent does not contain substances that contribute to the appearance of foam, without which it is impossible to wash a handmade thing.
